Default Re: Rules to condense multiple similar rolls?

For a quick travel montage, I may just go "okay, what's everyone's margin of success if you rolled a 10 on your Survival skills?" and just run with it. Sometimes, you don't even want to roll. But then, doing a "Take 10" variant is a house rule, not official.

Another similar issue I've discovered, though, is someone who has to roll Precognitive Parry every turn in combat, sometimes multiple times per turn, and then a Parry Missile Weapons Parry roll. (This is on top of the increasing penalties for parrying every time he has to roll a Parry.) In this case, I just say "roll Precog Parry" at the start of the player's turn and let him use that roll - good or bad - for all incoming attacks.
